WABFAEB. m 2 With admiration they behold, ,^ . The love of Christ that can't be told ; They view themselves upon the shore, Ana think the battle all is o'er. 8 They feel themselves quite free from pain, Ana think their enemies are slain : ' They make no doubt but all is well, Aoa Satan ia oast down to hell. 1 4 They wonder why old saints don't sing, And make the heavenly arches ring ; Ring with melodious, joyful sound. Because a prodigal is found. [5 But 'tis not long before they feel Their feeble souls begin to reel. They think their former hopes are vain, For they are bound in Satan's chain. The morning that did shine so bright, Is turned to the shades of night ; Their hearts that did with music ring, Are now. untuned ix^ ev'ry string. 0! foolish child, why didst thou boast In the enlargement of thy coast ? .Why didst thou think to fly away, Before tiiou leav'st this feeble clay f Oome, take up arms, and face the fi^ld, Come, gird on harness, sw^rd, and shield. ..^ ^1. t 886 RTHM8. Stand fast in faith, fight for your King, And soon the vict'ry you Bhall win, 9 When Satan comes to tempt your minds, Then meet him with these blessed hnea ; For Christ, the Lorjl has swept the fleW, And we're determined not to yield. / 311.— 2,6«— 9. 1 Ah 1 where am I now!
